VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 7, 2008) - Salazar Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SRL)(FRANKFURT:CCG) announces the intersection of 16 meters of massive sulphide mineralization in drill hole 46 at the El Domo anomaly, Las Naves Central Area, Curipamba Project, Ecuador.

Drill hole 46 is the fourth drill hole completed at the El Domo anomaly. Massive sulphide mineralization predominant in chalcopyrite and sphalerite was intersected from 50 metres to 66 metres (-60 degrees dip) for a total intersection of 16 metres (not true width). The Company has intercepted massive sulphides in all drill holes targeting the El Domo anomaly (# 39, 42, 45 and 46) and with this latest success, the mineralized body has been extended for 300 metres and remains open in all directions. The drill program continues at Las Naves Central and assay results for drill holes 45 and 46 are pending.

Mr. Fredy Salazar states, "The recent drill results at the El Domo anomaly validate our belief that the Curipamba project can provide the Company with significant exploration results. The Las Naves Central area may become the next major VMS district in Ecuador. We plan to focus our exploration efforts at El Domo to prove up what we believe can be a significant discovery. We remain confident that Curipamba can host more than one discovery and our systematic exploration efforts to identify other discoveries are continuing."

Dr. Howard Lahti, P. Geo, the qualified person for the company, has reviewed this news release for its accuracy.
